The short version

John Tedesco is listed as an executive officer and director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2012 and Jun 2016: TST Media, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN — other technology — 2014; $29M reported sold to 13 investors), When I Work, Inc. (Saint Paul, MN — other technology — 2015–2016; $15M reported sold to 11 investors) and CASTT, INC. (Roseville, MN — other technology — 2012; $475K reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $44.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Carson Kipfer (2 shared filings), Chad Becker (2 shared filings), Chad Halvorson (2 shared filings), Jeff Hinck (2 shared filings), Jeffrey Imm (2 shared filings) and 8 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around John. Each name links to their own page.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Justin Kaufenberg (5 issuers, $72.8M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Justin Kaufenberg has 5 companies on file and $72.8M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 5 public filings for John Tedesco and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 67 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

5 differences found between the filings for John Tedesco — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 31, 2011 – Jan 6, 2012

Form D filed 67 days after the first sale — CASTT, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 31, 2011. The Form D was filed Jan 6, 2012 — 67 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 52 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · May 23, 2016 – Jun 8, 2016

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — When I Work, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 23, 2016. The Form D was filed Jun 8, 2016 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Mar 6, 2014 – Jul 15, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — TST Media, Inc.

The Mar 6, 2014 filing says $26,000,000 offered; the Jul 15, 2014 Form D/A says $28,999,988.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Oct 31, 2011 – Jan 6, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CASTT, INC. (latest filing Jan 6, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 6, 2012 (first sale Oct 31, 2011). It reports $475,000 sold of $600,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
Note · Sep 27, 2024

Same name, different state: "John Tedesco" (MO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "John Tedesco" with address state MO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Sailes, Inc. (Sep 27, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 6, 2012 to Jun 8, 2016; the other has one filing dated Sep 27, 2024.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name John Tedesco.

Same business address

2 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
